She thought to ignore & go down but he called her again.
"Teju"
Well, luck wasn't on her side. Scrunching, she forcibly turns back & stomps to his room.
It is probably 8 in the morning, fog & light covered the hallways & rooms.
Slowly, she entered his room once again.
She didn't find him immediately, as the window is open, the room is misty.
But she sensed slight moments at the corner near the mirror, so she made her way there, standing at a distance behind him.
"Choose the cufflinks.", he simply said not even glancing at her.
Her jasmine scent wafted through the breeze & the tenderness of her anklets gave it away.
There is a velvet box on bed, containing diverse cufflinks, neatly arranged in blocks.
She turned to observe his apparels are to select a suitable set.
Adhvik opted a beige lenin shirt, black slacks & a blazer.
He's not a trendy guy who likes wierd colorlful jackets or loose half streched pants.
But he's particular about his style that is Dignified & Dapper.
Like the shirt colors, blazers, suits, including casual tees. None of them looks over the top but when he wears it, he owns it like nobody.
While she's choosing, he's wearing his black blazer when he hears her, "Black isn't for auspicious occasions"
He halts, glancing himself in the mirror.
Well, she's right. Lalitha and Chaya would not be ok at all, given their superstitions.
Without a second thought, he quickly picks the other outfit, brought by his mother & shows it to her. As she approves through her eyes, he leaves to change.
Meanwhile, she selects the suitable white crystal cufflinks as he returns in a white shirt & slacks with a pale blue blazer.
He ambles to the mirror checking himself while Teja brings the cufflinks.
He shows his hand to her, she takes one to put them.
Adhvik can't do it himself, usually they come attached otherwise either his mom would help or Teja. His sister never did, he never asked because one of them would surely be present.
As she is engrossed in attaching them, Adhvik stares at her.
She's in a long orange color organza dress with big earrings, bangles on one hand & a thick gold chain around her neck. Her duppatta is spread over a side & her long hair is braided in style with few strands resting on either side of her face, complimenting her beautifully.
The look is not fancy but it is magnificent on her to even describe.
His heart again slowed down at her face, it is radiating with only an orange bindi & diamond nose pin.
She moves past as soon as she finishes fixing without even glancing at him but stops when he calls her,
"Suno"
A second later she turns to face him in the mirror. He is staring at her through it.
"Baath karni hein. 5 PM at the hut."
She doesn't respond just meet his eyes & leaves from there. He too doesn't comply because he is sure she would come. His eyes complied her enough.
